?Chapter 98: Episode 98 Happy Halloween13 Chapter 98: Episode 98 Happy Halloween13 Xiaowu followed two patrol officers to a bar two streets away.

    A crowd had already gathered at the entrance of the bar, all looking worried yet curious towards the inside. Sёarch* The N??eFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    At that time, there was still a steady stream of people exiting the bar, supporting each other, each with their own clothing covering their nose and mouth.

    But from the outside, there was no sign of smoke—could the fire be inside?

    “Hey, buddy, what’s going on?” Xiaowu struck up a conversation with someone else watching the commotion.

    “Not sure, I just heard the fire alarm and ran out…” the person answered Xiaowu blankly, “But I didn’t really smell anything burning…”

    “Oh~ okay…” Xiaowu nodded and continued to ask others about the situation.

    However, after going around and asking, the response was the same: they first heard the alarm, then the crowd started getting restless, and no one knew who said, “Was that a fire alarm just now?” As a result, everyone rushed out of the bar.

    Latter, the police came to maintain order…

    But in the end, no one could say for sure whether there was a fire or not.

    ‘Heh, it must have been someone playing a prank…’ Xiaowu sneered and returned to Ruan Ying’s bar.

    Just as he was still explaining the incident to Ruan Ying, the two patrol officers who had hastily left returned, “Xiaoying, can you get us two cups of water? What’s all this about!”

    “Ah, sir? What happened?” Ruan Ying knew that patrol officers absolutely can’t drink alcohol while on duty, so even sparkling wine was out of the question, so he handed out a bottle of mineral water to each.

    “Well, didn’t we receive a tip that your place was admitting underage patrons?” Officer Zhang explained the situation after taking a big gulp of water.

    It turned out that the bar two streets over, unhappy with Ruan Ying’s new bar holding events and stealing customers, had been making false reports every other day, claiming they allowed underage entrance and even suggesting they sold ecstasy.

    But every time they investigated, it turned out to be false.

    Today was the same, the informant claimed, since it was a Halloween event, there could be underage attendees, so the patrol officers were urged to take special note.

    However, what actually happened? That very bar received two high school girls as patrons, coming to partake in the Halloween celebrations and climb the ladder of festivities.

    These two girls used someone else’s IDs to register their entry. The person at the reception responsible for the registration was careless and didn’t check properly, allowing the two girls inside…

    As a result, the two girls were mistaken for “escorts” and were harassed with ill intentions. One of them, trying to save the other girl and to distract attention, set off the alarm and hid in the women’s restroom amidst the chaos.

    And so, this baseless alarm resulted in the entire bar descending into chaos, and the bar management, without understanding the situation, began calling the police and evacuating the patrons.

    After much ado, it was discovered to be a huge misunderstanding.

    But because they had allowed more than two underage individuals in, they also faced penalties.

    “Ha…hahahahahaha…” Ruan Ying couldn’t contain his laughter after hearing this. “That bastard, accusing us day and night of letting minors into our bar.”

    “Sis, what if, when the time comes, that bastard claims that you set him up by sending those minors to his bar?” Xiaowu joked.

    “Damn, that’s actually possible. No worries, if necessary, we can have them identify themselves.” With a clear conscience, Ruan Ying was firmly opposed to allowing any minors entry, so he wasn’t afraid of being framed.

    Although Halloween was interrupted by an unexpected inspection, overall, it was still a huge success.

    Just as expected, that scheming operator did indeed claim that the minors were sent by Ruan Ying. However, when Ruan Ying passed by these kids, none of them recognized him, and the matter was dropped.

    Not only that, but a few days later, during the fire drill, Ruan Ying’s bar performed perfectly, winning a banner as a business role model from the district and being named an Excellent Business Demonstration Unit. It was a complete triumph.

    Zhou Xueyin’s forum also benefited from this, gaining a better reputation for inclusiveness and attracting more independent communities to post and liven up the atmosphere, leading to even higher traffic.

    Increased traffic meant better leverage in negotiating prices, and the ad rates could be raised again. Especially after adding new photography services, many clothing manufacturers started offering her opportunities.

    “Yinyin, Yinyin! There’s this college girl who’s gone viral online lately for her attention-grabbing antics! How about we make one too?” Yao Shanshan said this casually while browsing through other forums and stumbled upon an interesting post.

    “You mean that one? I saw it last week. I feel that’s kinda off… Not that she’s bad or anything, but that kind of stunt, drawing attention by being deliberately unattractive, just doesn’t sit right with me. There must be someone pushing it behind the scenes!” Zhou Xueyin didn’t take the matter to heart.

    “Yinyin, why don’t we promote our own internet celebrity on the website?” Jixiang suggested this while winking continuously at Ji Xiaoxi.

    “Jixiang, is there something wrong with your eyes? Why are you targeting me with them?” Ji Xiaoxi gave Jixiang a glance. “Don’t look at me; I have no interest in becoming an internet celebrity. But you, look at your figure. If you did a photo shoot, you’d definitely attract a bunch of guys to sign up for the forum!”

    “Oh cut it out. If I could really attract users with my body, I’d be all for it!” Jixiang replied modestly.

    “Wanna bet? If you do a photo shoot for the fashion clients, I bet the orders will come pouring in!” Ji Xiaoxi flattered Jixiang.

    “Forget about it! With my abnormal bust size, they’ll only take a look! Still, your average figure is way better!” Jixiang said with a mischievous smile, looking at Ji Xiaoxi.

    “If you’re calling me flat-chested, just say it. Don’t beat around the bush like this…” Despite their bantering, the two actually had a very good relationship.

    In the end, Zhou Xueyin had Wang Simo take several sets of photos for both Jixiang and Ji Xiaoxi, letting the clients decide who they wanted to model their clothes.

    The feedback they got was: It’s too hard to choose, why not have both…

    After all, shooting photos for one was the same as shooting for two, and Wang Simo didn’t care how many people he photographed.

    With Jixiang and Ji Xiaoxi setting an example, Zhou Xueyin had Liu He organize a street style photo event.

    On the one hand, it could invigorate the forum atmosphere, and on the other, they could select suitable candidates from these contributing members to become the website’s internet sensations. Two birds with one stone!

    However, after Liu He’s post was released, a little-known forum copied the content verbatim and ran off with it…
